I've only been a radiohead fan for about 3 years, I always enjoyed the bends, OK Computer and In Rainbows but the other albums took some time to grow on me. Kid A definitely took the longest, I remember reading reviews about how it's a masterpiece and one of the greatest albums of all time, I listened to it and just didn't understand what people were talking about. About a year later I listened to it again and enjoyed it a little bit more, the next day I listened to it and holy shit, it just hit me and is now my tied with In Rainbows for my favorite album by them. So which album took you the longest to "get?"

Yeah, on the exact same page. Although for me it was just the slowness. For some reason the fact it's Radiohead's slowest album just didn't allow it to click. I mean, as someone going from In Rainbows to Amnesiac, it was just a little hard. But now I love it. The quietness of the album (besides Pulk/Pull) is great for studying.

This might be controversial, but Pablo Honey withstanding (as i'm still not into it as of yet), OK Computer took me the longest to get into. I initially got into Radiohead via their material post OKC, which is of course radically different regardless of which album you listen to. Going backwards, The Bends initially proved a far more easier record to relate to, with it's more personal songwriting and energetic instrumentals. Without going into detail, a lot has happened in my own life that has helped make OKC a much easier record to get into. No Surprises was the one track from OKC that I'd loved relatively early on, from there it was Airbag and Paranoid Android (of which only recently has the final segment grown on me). Both Electioneering and Climbing Up The Walls surprised me, evoking emotions I did not expect from the record. Exit Music was initially too slow for me to appreciate, but the additional elements that come into the song helped it grow on me. Subterranean Homesick Alien came off as far too relaxed for my liking, but listening to the record as a whole made me appreciate it's placement. Once I'd heard it in full, Let Down became a favourite of mine. Karma Police took a long time, and the ending to the song, particularly that guitar-like sound that plays every other section or so, really helped me like the song. Fitter Happier is a track I like a lot, moreso for the message then any musical reason. Knowing the lyrics to both Lucky and The Tourist has made them much more listenable, however I still dislike how The Tourist starts, it simply sounds to "out-of-place" for me. However once it gets going it really makes for a great finale to OKC.

I didn't like King of Limbs at first, never got it at all. Then I saw them live and everything clicked. Especially Feral, absolutely hated that song on the album but was amazed at how well it worked and how energetic it was live.

Pablo honey. It was one of the first radiohead albums I listened to, and it was ok, but nothing great. The first radiohead I loved was the bends and httt. That was almost 3 years ago, and since then I've fallen in love with pretty much every radiohead song (not including b-sides, feral, thinking about you, and tree fingers). It was Pablo honey last though- I've been loving it recently, blow out and you particularly.

The album just feels kind of angry and raw. Especially you- it feels bitter. I think I like it so much because its a great contrast - a lot of radiohead (and this is not a criticism at all) is sad, disillusioned, cut off from society etc.

Kid A. I'm still not a fan of their Kid A electric synthetic noise routines, but Optimistic and Morning Bell have really gotten to me as all-time favorites. I don't think Kid A has its tracks in the right order, it just sounds a little bland in order track 1 to track 9

Probably Amnesiac. I was already used to their less darker/more exciting albums, so giving it a first listen ended in me quitting after the slowness of Pyramid Song. I didn't listen to it for quite a while. But after talking to a few Radiohead-listening friends who said it was their favorite album, I downloaded it and gave a second listen. Then it hit me- this isn't some boring collection of Kid A throwaways. This is some interesting creepy apocalyptic shit. Now I can say with nothing to fear or doubt (heh) that it's my most played through album on my iPod. I even listen to it when I study.

Now, when it comes to the album I've listened to the most and still haven't got, that'd be King of Limbs. I'm still getting it more and more as I listen to it, but I still don't really "get it". At least now I like a few songs on there, especially Give Up the Ghost and Little by Little. Other than that it just sounds more experimental than anything.

Amnesiac. Kid A for me was quite quick and is now my favourite album aswell. But Amnesiac? Boy oh boy, I still struggle to listen to it, it has it's moments like the (in my opinion) perfectionist song Knives Out but still, Morning Bell/Amnesiac?...
